Molluscicides (/məˈlʌskɪˌsaɪds,-ˈlʌs-/)[1][2] – also known as snail baits, snail pellets, or slug pellets – are pesticides against molluscs, which are usually used in agriculture or gardening, in order to control gastropod pests specifically slugs and snails which damage crops or other valued plants by feeding on them.
Metaldehyde pellets
A number of chemicals can be employed as a molluscicide:
Metal salts such as iron(III) phosphate, aluminium sulfate, and ferric sodium EDTA,[3][4] relatively non-toxic, most are approved for use in organic gardening
Metaldehyde[5]
Niclosamide
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (e.g. methiocarb), highly toxic to other animals and humans, acts also as a contact poison
